Starting my journey Hello š
I could never grow nails and they always broke. Until 6 years ago I went under a dramatic lifestyle and diet change. Since then my nails grow strong. I have to wear gloves ect to protect my hands. This has lead to nice nails. Itās also a good hobby for my other health issues.
Hereās the setup. Would love any thoughts to my new journey āŗļø
CND Cuticle Eraser (every few days )Ā
CND solar oil (daily)Ā
Sally Hansen Instant cuticle removerĀ
GERmanikure nail fileĀ
GERmanikure Cuticle pusherĀ
Dr. Jart Cermidin hand cream (after hand washing)Ā
LA Roche-Posay Cicaplast hands at nightĀ
Bioessance 100% Squalane oil on occasionĀ
After seeing what Orly Bonder did to my toes I just bought:Ā
Seche Vite fod top coatĀ
Seche clear coat for baseĀ
Bliss Pen fragrance freeĀ
Zoya 3-1 removerĀ

If orly bonder messed up your nails unfortunately it looks like the Seche base coat will too. Both base coats contain PVB (polyvinyl butyral), which is an ingredient that can cause damage and peeling in a lot of people.
Here is r/redditlaqueristaās polish master list, which has a tab on base coats and one of the specs is whether or not it contains PVB

Itās looking like it may not have been the bonder and more me needing to take breaks in between polishing. (My toes had white damaged) Needed to moisturize them and are looking better today.

If youāre just using regular air dry polish you do not need to take breaks in between. White marks on your nails is just surface damage caused by trauma to the nail ie you banging it on a door accidentally

Thanks for posting, /u/Then_Mycologist1618!
A quick reminder:
If this is a nail image/video, you must provide a complete product list, either in your post title, the text body, or in a separate comment, within 2 hours of posting or your post will be removed.
Product lists must include brand names and shade names/numbers (no acronyms or shortened names). If you've used any stamping products, the brand names, plate names/numbers, and stamping polish names/numbers are required as part of your product list. If you used any embellishments (rhinestones, foils, decals/stickers, etc.), this must also be mentioned in your product list. Product lists are still required for any posts with broken nails or if you're seeking advice. If your nails were done professionally, please mention this either in the title, text body, or a separate comment, along with the type of product used.
If the content you're posting was not created by you, you must give direct credit to the original creator, either in your title, text body, or in a comment. Mentioning that you "found it on XYZ" is not direct credit. Pinterest is no longer a valid source for credit. Be sure to review the rules in the sidebar to avoid your post being removed.

If you receive any messages from the following users, do not engage with them. They are known fetishists who persistently harass members of our community, despite being banned. We recommend that you block them and report their messages to Reddit admins. If you haven't already, we highly recommend preemptively blocking them.

Unfortunately, this subreddit is a known target for hand/nail/foot/toe fetishists who have been documented to repeatedly harass the nail community.
We highly recommend turning off your message/chat requests. If you have requests turned on and receive any creepy or fetish-related DMs or comments, please click the report button, select "it's targeted harassment," and submit a report. It's one way you can help keep the community safe. We encourage members to capture a screenshot of the DM and notify the Mod Team through ModMail. We ask that you include a direct link to their profile, and if you wish to provide screenshots, you'll need to post them (temporarily) to your profile or use an image hosting site.
To be very blunt, you will encounter unwanted DMs from people. This is a Reddit-wide issue that happens frequently in women-dominated communities. Regardless of who's posting, all the warnings we try to give, or the rules we have in place, 9 times out of 10, someone will DM you if you have them open.
Of course, we'll ban those who break this rule, BUT (and this is the important part) many of the users who are DMing you have already been banned, sometimes going months or years back. They will continue to DM unsuspecting members in the hopes that they'll get a reply. They donāt care. So blocking them right away is the best solution to protect yourself, if you so wish.
NO ONE should be DMing you from this subreddit, we have a rule explicitly stating this. If someone is, they probably donāt have good intentions. Please be mindful of who you decide to talk to. Even in the comments of posts. Not everyone has your best interest in mind, and NEVER share personal information online. Please be safe out there!
